( ) I have attended groups for codependents for several years, and this book always came highly recommended. I think that due to my experience in the groups, I knew a lot of what was already stated in the book. I found it really broad, and skimmed pages halfway through, looking for new information. I'm still a codependent and there's room for improvement, but--the exercises she lists are not part of my life. It's no one person, right now. She sings the praises of twelve-step groups, which are a narrow slice of what can be done to battle addiction and codependency. This was Codependents 101, and I'm past that. She tries to joke, and the jokes come off as mean-spirited due to the tone of the rest of the book and the seriousness of its content (or what it tries to achieve, anyway). If readers don't believe in the divinity of Jesus or the existence, feel free to skip several chapters and paragraphs. One of the author's answers to codependency is literally to pray it away, especially to Jesus or a male, Christianized figure because she does and therefore it should fix everyone's life. I am an observant Jew who doesn't believe that, and was annoyed at her preaching. She tried and failed to hide her utter lack of respect for atheists or agnostics. A book where an author tries to fix every codependent ever in a narrow way is not a place to show disdain for people who don't believe what the author does, yet here readers are. So, this is a beginner's guide for devout Christians. I am not that, so I didn't get much out of the book. The checklist at the beginning was long but informative, and the stories did help to contextualize. That's why I gave the book three stars. I intend to read at least a dozen other books on codependency, and am hoping for other viewpoints. I'm not the target audience for this. But! This book is for people who, for whatever reason, are attracted people with problems. I call them "fixers." Again, not me (I'm too lazy) but soooo many people I know. And, therefore, this book was fascinating. It was told partially from the author's (a recovering codependent) point of view and that helped me understand the logic and the reasoning behind the problem. And it's so logical. So helpful and interesting. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Revised and Updated, with a New Chapter on Trauma and Anxiety, a List of Resources, and More Over 7 Million Copies Sold A cultural phenomenon that has helped heal millions of readers, this modern classic holds the key to understanding codependency and unlocking its hold on your life. As heard on Glennon Doyle's We Can Do Hard Things podcast. Melody Beattie's compassionate and insightful look into codependencyâ??the concept of losing oneself in the name of helping anotherâ??has guided millions of readers toward the understanding that they are powerless to change anyone but themselves and that caring for the self is where healing begins. Is someone else's problem your problem? If, like so many others, you've lost sight of your own life in the drama of tending to a loved one's self-destructive behavior, you may be codependentâ??â??and you may find yourself in this book. With personal reflections, exercises, and instructive stories drawn from Beattie's own life and the lives of those she's counseled, Codependent No More helps you break old patterns and maintain healthy boundaries and offers a clear and achievable path to healing, hope, freedom, and happiness. This revised edition includes an all-new chapter on trauma and anxietyâ??subjects Beattie has long felt necessary to address within the context of codependencyâ??making it even more relevant today than it was when it first entered the national conversation over Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
